I believe you, but I prefer clean interfaces to performance optimizations. If you run a quick performance test -- compare splitting and joining, say, a 10-item and a 10000-item list both by char and by String -- and post the results (or add them to the bug report) it might help make your case. -- Alex Chaffee mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Purple Technology - Code and Consulting http://www.purpletech.com/ jGuru - Java News and FAQs http://www.jguru.com/alex/ Gamelan - the Original Java site http://www.gamelan.com/ Stinky - Art and Angst http://www.stinky.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
